Japanese economy is reported to be recovering very strongly and India has signed the Indo-Japan Preferential Trade Agreement, under which import duties for certain categories of Leather Products & Footwear will be reduced and exporters may take advantage of this more favorable situation to make inroads into the Japanese market. Fashion World Tokyo is the best platform to expand business in Japan.
